Newly refurbished annex with open plan kitchen/diner/living room, shower room & bedroom with double (4ft) bed.
The perfect base in which to explore the south coast:
just a 2 minute walk to the New Forest National Park with it's roaming ponies & only 3 miles from the beaches of Lepe & Calshot while Exbury & Beaulieu are 2-4 miles away. Brockenhurst, Lyndhurst, Lymington & Southampton are 10-14 miles away. Fawley Esso is 1 mile away.
Great for couples, solo adventurers & business travellers.

Refurbished last year, The Annex, adjoined to but completely independent from our family home, has everything you need for a comfortable stay.
The open plan kitchen/diner/living room looks onto a large garden through patio doors (table, chairs and a BBQ are available in the summer). There's a flat screen TV, Wii console and free Wifi. The sofa can be made into 4ft double bed if required (please let us know if you'd like this bed made up for you at time of booking). There is a small bedroom with a 4ft double bed, wardrobe and chest of drawers which leads onto a newly fitted ensuite shower room. The newly fitted kitchen area contains a proper size fridge/freezer, 2 ring halogen hob, a microwave, a toaster, a kettle and utensils and a compact dining table for two.

The Annex is in Blackfield, just a 2 minute walk to the glorious open New Forest with it's roaming ponies & cows & is only 3 miles from the lovely beaches of Lepe & Calshot where you can enjoy watching the ships come and go from Southampton port. Exbury, with its pretty Gardens & Beaulieu with the famous Motor Museum, are 2-4 miles away. The New Forest villages of Brockenhurst, Lyndhurst and Lymington & city of Southampton are 10-14 miles away. Fawley and Holbury are 1 mile away so easily accessible for Esso.
Blackfield Village is a two minute walk away. It has two mini-supermarkets, a petrol station, a chemist, a bakers, a Post Office, a hardware store, a library, a restaurant and a cafe, an Indian Takeaway, Fish and Chip shops, a leisure centre and a large play park. Larger and a wider variety of shops, eateries and services can be found in Hythe, Lymington, Totton and Southampton. Of course, there are lots of lovely pubs and independent shops in and around the New Forest.

Annex is very handy for visiting attractions in new forest or overnight stop before a training course at ferny croft. Jennifer is great host, plenty of communication beforehand to ensure we knew where to go etc. Annex is warm and comfortable with everything needed. Shops in walking distance. Very quiet area on edge of village.

Great location. Great value for money. Would highly recommend.

James2017-02-12T00:00:00Z

My boyfriend and I stayed for two nights and the Annex was perfect. It had everything we needed and was close to some great restaurants and walks. The annex was clean, quite spacious and had a fully equipped kitchen. Highly recommend!

Amy2017-09-03T00:00:00Z

Great little annex and lovely garden, really well equipped kitchen and in a nice, quiet tucked away location close to road access

Kate2017-07-02T00:00:00Z

A lovely little house, perfect for a short stay. Jennifer made sure we were able to 'check-in' easily. Whilst each area is small the house is clean and tidy, functional and in a quiet corner of Hampshire. Being separate from the main house gives a level of independence which is really useful.

Ben2017-01-22T00:00:00Z

The Annex was perfect for us - a peaceful private space, close to beautiful walks. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Thank you Jennifer and family for having us to stay!

natalie2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

The Annex is an amazing self contained unit that I would recommend to anyone. Very clean, great facilities and an amazing shower! Thank you Jennie and Marc for a wonderful stay.

Gary2017-07-10T00:00:00Z

Was an excellent spot to explore New Forest from and was nice to have the kitchenette to do our own breakfasts in. Jennifer was helpful and provided some lovely dinner suggestions in advance.

My home is a 5 min walk from the New Forest and a short cycle ride to Lepe Beach which is located at the end of my road. It's also a short drive from Calshot Activity Centre.
My home would suit couples, solo adventurers, families (2 rooms are available) and anyone working in the area.
My house is a 4 bedroom detached property. I'm told it's a very welcoming comfortable cosy home. There are two double rooms available, both finished to a high standard. The house is in a quiet location, close to the Forest and the Sea.
Lymington, Brockenhurst & Lyndhurst are just a 20 minute drive and Beaulieu & Exbury are 5 mins down the road.
I provide a continental breakfast which is included. I am happy to provide a cooked breakfast at an additional cost or an evening meal if required and advance notice is given.
Check in time is flexible, please contact me in advance to arrange this.

There are two bedrooms available so an additional 2 guests can be added to the booking. However if there is only one additional guest then there is an option for a camp bed in bedroom 1 or if bedroom 2 is required then this will be charged at the usual room rate.
The room is under a separate listing but I wanted to make it available to parties of four.
I would be happy to add a 5th bed in certain circumstance just ask.

We had really great time in Tamsin's beautifully decorated house not far from Lepe beach. Tamsin is a perfect host, who offers plenty of advice on the places to visit in the surrounding area, as well as coffee, tea and nice chat in the evening. She was also very flexible with our last-minute arrival. Breakfast is delicious as well.

Anna2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

Tamsin is a fantastic host and she has a beautiful home that she opens to her guests nothing is too much trouble for her - her garden with fire pit and hot tub make this extra special - ask Tamsin for ideas on places to eat and go she never got it wrong

Jane2017-08-10T00:00:00Z

Definitely recommend both Tamsin and her home. Wonderful welcome. Made to feel right at home. Superb spot on the Edge of the New Forest.

Debra2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

Tamsin is a great hostess, very helpful and chatty. We arrived worn out and disappeared off to our room, but breakfast was great and the chat with Tamsin and the other guests was really enjoyable, and added a great deal to the overall experience. Very nice house, fantastic garden and hot tub area if you get the chance to use it. Recommended.

Phil2017-08-28T00:00:00Z

Wonderful stay, Tamsin is a most helpful host, absolutely recommendable

Franz2017-08-05T00:00:00Z

My first experience with Airbnb and it could not have been any better. Very cozy flat, clean, tidy, and modern. Tamsin is amazing, offering tea, coffee and even breakfast. Better than a hotel. Totally recommend it.

Ruben2017-08-04T00:00:00Z

Tamsin is very welcoming and attentive, and the property and facilities descriptions are accurate. We enjoyed our stay.

Spacious, luxury Self-Catered Boutique cottage for 2 with private garden in the heart of the New Forest National Park superbly located for both forest and beaches.
Please note that we only take weekly bookings from Friday-Friday in peak season. In off-peak season we offer short-breaks from either Fri-Mon or Mon-Fri. Please enquire.

A boutique barn conversion in Exbury, one of the prettiest villages in the New Forest National Park, close to the saltmarshes and creeks along the Beaulieu River in an area of outstanding natural beauty.
The cottage is normally rented out for periods of 7 nights from Friday-Friday. We will try to accommodate shorter bookings depending on the time of year, please contact us before submitting a reservation request.
The Old Barn is made for relaxation. Original barn doors, sheepskin rugs and a traditional log-burner give a country cottage cosy feel, while details such as the open-plan kitchen-diner, large sitting room, inviting kingsize bed, Egyptian cotton sheets and White Company towels make it a comfortable and spacious retreat for two.
One of the New Forest's most traditional villages, Exbury is part of an estate which historically belonged to the legendary Mitford family and since 1919 has been owned by the Rothschilds. Lionel Nathan de Rothschild created the famous Exbury Gardens, on an ambitious scale. These stunning gardens are now open to the public. Many of the charming houses and cottages in the village were built by the Rothschilds for those who worked on the estate and in the ‘big house’. Exbury today is rural, safe and peaceful; the only sounds are of birdsong, church bells and the occasional clip clopping of horses' hooves.

Walking, cycling, sailing and horse-riding draw most to the region. The New Forest is 218 square miles of beautiful, varied landscape: shady ancient woodland, heather-covered heaths and over 100 miles of gravelled tracks to cycle or walk. Ponies, cattle & pigs roam freely throughout the Forest as they have for hundreds of years. Clear springs unite to form the Beaulieu & Lymington rivers which flow out into the Solent which has many lovely beaches with views over to the Isle of Wight.

I really recommend a stay at The Old Barn, it is a beautiful place and the location is great. We had a car so was easy for us to get around. Kate made us feel welcome by leaving a bottle of wine in the fridge for us and a little welcome note for when we arrived. A very comfortable place to stay with a lovely little garden for your own use. Kate was very helpful before we arrived and during our stay with recommending places to eat, visit etc and where the best places to hire bikes were. The new forest is beautiful and I will definitely return again.

Kate2014-08-12T00:00:00Z

Exbury is a wonderful quiet pretty village in the new forest and we loved our stay at the beautify 'Old Barn'. It was even bigger and more plush than the pictures suggested and we were cosy and comfortable the whole stay. The kitchen in particular was a great size and had great facilities and equipment. It is great for any foodies like us out there.

Dave 2014-12-05T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay at the old barn over the festive period. The kitchen was well equipped and spacious enough to cook Christmas dinner and the log burner and comfy sofas in the lounge room made us feel extra cosy. Kate was really helpful in answering any questions we had before our stay and left us a lovely note and welcome gift on arrival. A great place for long walks in the day and cosy nights in.

Kate2016-12-27T00:00:00Z

Gorgeous place, really tastefully decorated. Very cosy and comfy. Kate was very pleasant to deal with and quick to respond. Great base for exploring the New Forest. Would certainly recommend.

Caroline2014-08-26T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely stay at the Old Barn. Was especially nice to be welcomed by wine and hand made soap. The wood burner made it feel very cosy. Perfect for a new year retreat. Kitchen was a magnificent space and the bed was very comfortable. Would be keen to come again.

Tamsin is a very welcoming and hospitable host. She made us feel at home and went out of her way to help us with all the local knowledge. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay near the New Forest area, her house is very tidy and clean too!

James2017-09-01T00:00:00Z

My partner and I stayed for 3 nights with Tamsin. There is a bus stop near by, 2 bus routes stop here- one to Southampton and another a beach bus which goes through to Lymington. Transport was easy. Tamsin was lovely to talk to and drink some wine with. Very good quality organic food for breakfast. Beautiful garden with a fire pit and fantastic jucuzzi. Everything was clean and comfortable. We were able to do use her facilities to wash clothes and store food. I can't recommend this air bnb enough.

Jo2017-08-10T00:00:00Z

A very glorious slice of up-river, down-town chic, opens its doors to 8 people (+ kids) who want to stop the world and get off. The owners work in film production and furniture design for top hotels. It shows here. The interiors are superb.
The farm is it’s a sailing landmark. The Tithe Barn adjoining seats 30, (we do charge more for this).
We recommend catching a boat taxi from the private jetty to smart pub/restaurant for celebrations.

The barn is beautifully furnished. The photographs don’t do it justice because the interior colours are muted and soft. The U-shaped buildings used to be a stable yard and after a serious fire, was left unloved for years. Recently rebuilt it’s now a serene and peaceful escape with plenty of living space for family groups to be together but not on top of each other.
The kitchen is very well fitted. The long table will seat 10 and there are masses of smart bowls to pile salads and stews into. The fridge is huge – useful if you’re catering for a big family do.

Birds and boats, not much more.

Gin's Barn is a truly sensational....spacious, beautifully appointed and very very comfortable. The location is also perfect, and gets the balance between being remote, but not too far from some great restaurants and pubs. Rachel was also a great host, on hand to answer any questions. Would highly recommend.

Karen is a fantastic host, very friendly, and she was very communicative and gave me very clear directions before arrival. She also helped me with transport options and was able to put me in touch with a local taxi firm. The room was very comfortable, the shared bathroom was nice and big with a decent shower, and the cats are friendly! Karen had paid attention to all the details and made sure I had everything I needed. The bed was comfortable, and I was able to get a good night's sleep which really helped me in my interview the next day. Would definitely stay here again, and can recommend Karen's place to anyone travelling in the area.

Wonderful stay, this was a short term booking, so little notice - but when arrived very hospitable, and accommodating and made sure that I was comfortable. Lovely property (home!) and super location and great value! certainly will be staying again!! For dinner in the evening try the 'Forest Home' pub (5 min drive) up the road - great home made grub. I had pigeon with black pudding for my main meal, was on the specials board - yummy!

Comfortable room in quiet close. 20 minutes from the M27.
Ideal for singles or couples, business travellers, solo adventurers, short pre/post cruise stays and all events held in the area.
Nestled between Southampton Water and just 5 minutes from the New Forest.
My home is only 10 minutes drive from Fawley, Hythe, Exbury gardens and Beaulieu with its famous motor museum and 30 minutes from the centre of Southampton, Lymington and Lyndhurst.

The upstairs double bedroom, with TV, overlooks the rear garden, which guests are free to use.
The bathroom is almost for the sole use of guests as during their stay, I use the downstairs shower/cloakroom.

A small shopping precinct is just around the corner (Newsagent, Drycleaning, Hairdresser, Chinese takeaway) and a 10 minute walk to the main road with a full complement of shops;- Chemist, Co-Op supermarket, takeaways and late night Express stores etc. The local Pubs/Restaurants are all within walking distance or a short drive.
Lepe Country Park and beaches are also nearby, as is the village of Hythe with its marina and a ferry, which will take you into the heart of Southampton and links up with the Isle of Wight Ferry terminal.
This area hosts many big events during the summer: Boat Show, Annual Auto and Bike Jumbles, New Forest Show and various Festivals. Car rallies are also held at Beaulieu most week ends.

Kathryn is the perfect host. She welcomes you into her home and has thought of everything that one would need to feel comfortable. Nothing is too much trouble and I wouldn't hesitate to book with Kathryn again, if I'm in the area. Thank you Kathryn!

A truly wonderful stay. Kathryn was a very welcoming host & nothing was too much trouble. The room was very clean & we had sole use of the bathroom. The garden was very peaceful and relaxing & the homemade marmalade served at breakfast was to die for! We would totally recommend a stay with Kathryn :)

Vyvyan2017-08-14T00:00:00Z

Kathryn is a lovely lady & host - she offered to pick me up from the local ferry, after suggesting that would be a quicker transport option than the bus I had planned on taking. She also took me for a scenic drive around the New Forest, which ended up being the most I saw of it due to the rainy weather that followed. The house & room are exactly as described and very clean. There is also an excellent breakfast option provided, and use of the washing machine. The only minor issue for me was that the bedroom blinds don't blockout the early morning sunlight, so I kept waking up early. However this is by far the best 'private room' AirBnB experience I have had to date.

Patricia2017-08-10T00:00:00Z

Stuart2017-08-19T00:00:00Z

Newly renovated: This 5 bedroom 'chocolate box' character thatched cottage on Beaulieu high street is just 2 minutes walk from the Village and 5 minutes walk from the river and Beaulieu Motor Museum. Perfectly located in the New Forest to explore.

This beautiful 5 bedroom character cottage sleeps 10.
Dating back to circa 1590, this Grade II listed cottage has been newly re-thatched and beautifully renovated to a luxury standard. Perfect for a relaxing holiday with friends or family.
On the ground floor, the front entrance opens into stylish reception room with fireplace. Adjoining is a cozy snug with wood burning stove, Chesterfield sofa and TV.
There are two downstairs double bedrooms with English country garden views. The larger of these can be set up as a kingsize bed or twin beds. The other has a period 4 poster double bed. Both bedrooms have easy access to a spacious luxury shower room with walk in double shower.
The kitchen is laid out in a 'C' shape with an island. This large well equipped country kitchen has 2 dishwashers, an electric range with gas hob, 2 pull out fridges and a freezer. A bespoke oak table seats 10 with views out over the garden from patio doors on either side. A feature flight of stairs leads upstairs to the 5th bedroom.
Outside, the patio is equipped with a table, seating and a gas BBQ.
A backdoor leads into a boot/laundry room and downstairs cloakroom/toilet. Guests will have use of the washing machine, tumble drier and iron.
Upstairs Bedroom 1 is a spacious master bedroom with kingsize sleigh bed and chaise lounge (relax and admire the views out over Montagu Estate). An en-suite bathroom with shower and double slipper bath looks out over the garden.
Bedroom 2 is a smaller room but still large enough to accommodate a kingsize bed, again with views over the Montague Estate.
Bedroom 3 has a nautical feel. Accessed from the kitchen, it has wonderful views over the meadow behind the property. This room can be set up as a kingsize double or a twin with zip and link Hypnos beds for flexibility.

Situated at the top of Beaulieu High street, this beautifully renovated cottage overlooks meadows yet is just 2 minutes walk from the village shops and 5 minutes walk from the Beaulieu river and National Motor Museum. Lymington town and Exbury Gardens are a short drive away and The Pig, Limewood and the Montagu Arms Hotel all provide fine dining experiences within a 5 mile radius.
Located in the New Forest, Chestnut Cottage is at the heart a unique and wonderful national park on the south coast of England. It has many pretty villages, towns and a coastline that is great for walking, cycling, sailing, horse riding and spotting the ponies, cows and donkeys that live here and roam free.
Ideal for families, groups of friends, cycling parties or car enthusiasts, Chestnut Cottage is the perfect base to enjoy all that the New Forest has to offer.

Beautiful home with very comfy high quality beds. Fixtures also of dry high quality, the location is fantastic. At the time of our visit, the property was still at the 'snagging list' stage of completion. I would also feel uncomfortable with children who are mobile staying at the house due to an open staircase in the kitchen.

Olivia2016-08-01T00:00:00Z

Fantastic location, great house. Sarah is a great communicator and any questions you may have are answered in detail. We had personalised recommendations prior to our stay and lots of helpful information. We forgot to sign the book before we left but it was 0600 so that's our excuse! Check in and our was easy and quick and the house keeper was really lovely and also a great communicator. Would love to come back - the master bedroom is amazing!!!

Serena2017-05-22T00:00:00Z

From the first contact I made with Sarah, her communication with me was fantastic. She was happy to help with any of my queries. Becky the housekeeper was very felixible with our arrival and was warm and welcoming. The cottage is full of character. The kitchen area was a great space for the 11 of us to hang out, chat and eat. The two snug rooms were both small and cosy, and were not big enough for us all to fit in. So if you're looking for large relaxing spaces inside, this cottage may disappoint. The lighting was a bit dark for some of our party who wanted a cosy place to read. Some of the plug sockets were not connected and once this is finished and more lamps attached, I am sure this won't be a problem. The weather wasn't very kind to us, but it was November, so we didn't get much use out of the fantastic outside table and BBQ, which again looked big enough to accommodate our large party. The listing showed a good photo of the fantastic wooden stairs upto the bedroom above the kitchen. The other upstairs bedrooms were reached by the original (I guess) back stairs which were steep and narrow. It felt like climbing up into the past going up them. My two boys (age 4 & 7) managed these very well, but you do need to be very careful on them, as my brother-in-law found out when he rushed down them and had a little slip. All in all fantastic weekend (despite the rain). Thank you very much Sarah x

Chestnut Cottage is really well located for discovering Beaulieu and the surrounding areas. Situated just a stone's throw from the village, the cottage is extremely well appointed - cosy and stylish, intimate yet roomy. Do be careful if you are tall though - some of the ceilings in the original part of the house are very low. We had a lovely family trip, with children and grandparents all enjoying the cottage and it's facilities. Would definitely recommend for a family trip to this lovely part of the world. We managed to get 2 family cars in the driveway, but needed to negotiate the tight space a few times before getting the hang of it. The gardens are lovely, and caught the sun at most times of the day. Remember to take the rubbish out on a Monday night - this hadn't been mentioned in the original instructions. We had a great break and welcomed the lack of TV!

Our house was originally a coastguard cottage and is in the Ashlett Creek conservation area. As you can see has great views over Southampton Water. It is close to the New Forest with its heath-lands, woods and ponies.

The room is large and airy with a king sized bed and fabulous views over the water. Private bathroom. A second single room MAY SOMETIMES be available as part of the same letting for an extra £10 per night (PLEASE INQUIRE BEFORE BOOKING). Tea and coffee facilities in the room.

Although down a pretty, rural lane that runs down to the sea we are in easy reach of many pretty towns, villages and tourist attractions. The city ( 25 mins), Hythe marina (10 mins) the beautiful
coastal town of Lymington (25mins), historic Romsey with its abbey (30 mins) and the village of Beaulieu with the National Motor Museum (10 mins). There is a pretty pub at the bottom of the garden which serves food.

Our hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming, the accommodation was clean and comfy, and the house is in a beautiful area! Highly recommended!

The cottage is the heart of the New Forest in Beaulieu. You can enjoy great walks or cycle rides and the National Motor Museum is just around the corner. I have a garage where you can keep your bicycle and a pub just across the road.

Your upstairs bedroom overlooks the High Street. There is a small desk, if you need to do some work or check your emails, a bed and a small room next to it where you can hang your clothes.

There is a pub just across the road and cafés along the High Street. Beaulieu High Street has got a little shop/ post office and several arts shops. Across the pond you can see Beaulieu Manor and there is a nice 45 minute walk to Buckler's Hard along Beaulieu River and through the forest.
You have easy access to many more sights in the New Forest, the award winning beaches of Bournemouth and Southampton is only a 30 minute drive away. From Lymington you can take a ferry to explore the Isle of Wight for a day.

very nice location in a beautiful village, very nice and welcoming host who made us a cup of tea on arrival and was very kind to pick us up. beautiful walk int he forest very closeby :)

Katja was a great host and was fine with us coming in very late due to being at a wedding nearby. It was an ideal location in a lovely part of the new forest. Thanks for making us feel welcome.

Melissa2016-05-30T00:00:00Z

From the moment we arrived we knew we were in for a treat. From Katja's hospitality we were already well informed of the area. She made us feel right at home and we can't thank you enough for making our weekend the best. The cottage is stunning. The location is ideal and to sit next to the lake in the garden made the whole trip worth it. Lovely pub across the road and donkeys walking right past the window. With a late night in front of her log fire you couldn't ask for more. It was perfect and thanks again. We will look forward to staying with you again.

Zac2016-05-16T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay at Katja's. She gave us clear directions and parking advice before-hand (there's loads of free parking up the high street just opposite her house). On arrival we sat and had a coffee and a chat about the local area, Katja was really friendly and asked us to make ourselves at home. The house was clean and welcoming, and the bedroom comfortable. We visited the New Forest to go walking and the location is within driving distance of many really scenic routes (we took a 15min drive to Lyndhurst). There is a pub right opposite the cottage which does food, but worth noting there's not much other bar/restaurant/shops within easy walking distance. The cottage garden was particularly lovely, perfect place to watch the sunset. Would definitely recommend, or stay again should we be in the area.

Natalie2016-06-27T00:00:00Z

Katja is a cordial host with a quick laugh. She was up to make coffee for our early departure. The flat is simple, the room and bath are clean; the queen bed was comfortable. It is situated in the center of the small village, across the lane from the pub. The back yard overlooks the small pond with ducks and swans. The price Is low compared to local b-and-b's and the experience was appropriate for the price.

chris2016-06-22T00:00:00Z

A great location and Katja was a delight.

Paul2016-07-23T00:00:00Z

Katja was flexible and open in arranging arrival, friendly but allowing us time to enjoy her wonderful Garden and View alone.. with a Glass of wine admiring the sunset at the Ponds edge, where the Tide goes in and out and a multitude of wildlife can be watched.

philip2016-07-18T00:00:00Z

It was my partner who stayed at Katya's cottage and he arrived at 8pm at night. Katja wasn't home but was very quick in responding to messages and advised where the key had been left. Overall the cottage is clean and cute, although the doorways are a little low , and is perfect for a short stay in Beaulieu. The pub across the road, Montys, is a little noisy , but it was a Saturday night.

Self-contained castellated tower (with own separate entrance) of a large country property in romantic setting overlooking the sea and Isle of Wight. Located 100 yards from the sea.
Access to walled gardens with tennis court by arrangement.

Quiet and scenic. One large principal bedroom with sea views and sofa bed in the main living room allow for up to 4 guests. Separate dining area and separate fully equipped kitchen. Terrace with garden furniture. Access to beach for swimming and walks. Tennis court in walled gardens available by arrangement. A charming and unique location.

The location and accommodation are just beautiful. Our one year old spaniel loved the water and kids loved screaming abracadabra at the gate to the beach to "magically" open it. So much to see and do and we will be back in a heartbeat!

ashley2017-04-11T00:00:00Z

Nothing not to like. Beautiful accommodation in a beautiful setting. We will be back for sure.

Laura2017-08-26T00:00:00Z

Fantastic location, really impressive grounds and the history of the place makes it truly special. I didn't realise that Queen Victoria used to use these premises on her holiday. Eddie the groundsman went out of his way to help us and to show us around. The rooms are more spacious than they seem in the photos. The beach is a short walk across the lawn. The place is far away from any roads and traffic, so it's incredibly quiet. Just what we needed and we'll definitely be back some day.

Graham2017-08-11T00:00:00Z

Perfect, just what we were looking for - somewhere quiet, secluded, with lovely views, next to the beach and lots of space for my two border collies to enjoy. The accommodation was very comfortable and the two round rooms in the castellated tower were very special.

Caroline2017-07-31T00:00:00Z

what a lovely place to stay, you really don't need to venture far and explore. Everything you would want to do is right here on the grounds, walks along private beaches, beautiful gardens, amazing house and steeped in history. Top it off with wonderful hosts and a trip to the New Forest suddenly becomes so much more

Leigh2016-09-10T00:00:00Z

This is a true gem in every respect. What a superb location and the most tasteful decor in a stunning historic building, can't recommend it highly enough. It made for the most memorable of birthdays. The rooms are so generous, the walled garden is magical. We played tennis and then went down to the sea for a dip in May. Paradise. What more can I say.

Leslie2017-05-07T00:00:00Z

My wife, labrador and I enjoyed three very special nights at Fawley. Whether it was simply relaxing in the garden, sitting on the beach or enjoying fresh local crab, it was a fantastic experience. Thanks to our hosts for the warm welcome. Beautiful accommodation in a beautiful setting. Worth stopping off at the Setley Ridge Farm Shop on your way to the property to stock up on delicious local produce.

Jeremy2016-08-29T00:00:00Z

Lovely place to stay with a beautiful sea view, fantastic garden and private access to the beach. The property is really quiet and peaceful but nice pubs, supermarkets are easily reachable with a car. Marianne has been a fantastic host, always ready to help and make our stay agreeable.

The cottage is absolutely beautiful - even better than we expected. It's spotlessly clean and there are lots of welcoming hints & tips dotted about the place. The beds are super comfy and the location is perfect. Honestly couldn't recommend it more to anyone off to the New Forest. The pub up the road is great too - we went there three times and the pie was ace. Oh and the hot tub is the perfect cherry on top - made such a difference having that in the back garden. The only thing to look out for is that the ceilings are (obviously!) low so watch out if you're tall. (Still book it, just be prepared to come away with a few less brain cells if you're clumsy!)

What can we say about Annabel’s cottage? It is tastefully decorated and furnished, well equipped, very comfortable, clean and beautifully maintained. It is in the quiet village of East Boldre, a stunning setting, with walks on the doorstep. Soaking in the spa at the end of a day's walk, whilst watching the moon and stars, was a real treat. There is a village shop, post office, garage and pub; the pub does tasty food and decent ale. Annabel was very helpful both before and during our holiday. Thank you for a relaxing, welcoming and 5 star stay.

Amanda2016-05-14T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely stay at the cottage. It was clean and the location was brilliant.

Scott2017-01-22T00:00:00Z

A real treat and great location where you can set off on lovely walks straight from the door. Also great to be able to relax in the hot tub at the other end of the day (!) and there's a great pub (turfcutters) which is 5 mins walk down the road where we had a very cosy meal. Thanks Annabel for letting us stay in your lovely cottage... !

Sasha2016-11-13T00:00:00Z

A delightful cottage with great amenities. Nice local walks and great pub down the road. Restricted head height could be a problem for some.

Sue2017-03-19T00:00:00Z

Lovely little cottage in a great little village.

Edward2017-07-24T00:00:00Z

We (adults and 2 kids) had a great short stay here in the New Forest. The cottage and garden are really lovely (better than the pictures suggest if anything) and we especially appreciated being able to relax in the hot tub after a hard days crabbing in Mudeford or cycling on the trails. The lack of ceiling height in the main bedroom is really the only downside and this didn't affect our enjoyment. Highly recommended.

The house is located in the middle of the New Forest within walking distance of The National Motor Museum, auto jumble etc. It is a very quiet and peaceful location where guests will have use of the heated covered swimming pool, hot tub,sauna and gardens. The room itself is very large with a king bed, flatscreen tv and a gigantic circular bath with shower over. There is a desk in the room and the large windows allow you to enjoy incredible views across the forest.

Very welcoming experience, Tim and June seemed very relaxed, approachable and, friendly adding to an even greater experience. There are many features of the home that are incredible for the price. Immaculately clean room with designer hotel bathroom included. The views from the bedroom window are beautiful. The location is perfect for even me who stayed just one night, definitely great for couples who want a trip away, or relaxing place for families on a holiday either by the sea or in the forest area. I would definitely go back again and bring more people with me.

Shauna2016-09-06T00:00:00Z

We have truly enjoyed staying at Tim's house. Him and his wife are great hosts and made our visit a very pleasant one. Our little daughter loved a huge bath in the room we stayed at and still mentions it afterwards. It was very nice to have fresh breakfast each morning. There are plenty of fun places to visit within 10-15 min drive from the property, I would highly recommend visiting the area to families with kids. Lots to do, lots to see, plenty of nice restaurants/pubs around. Overall - a wonderful experience.

My place is close to the beach, Calshot Castle and Activities Centre, a few minutes from The New Forest and is within the National Park. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, anyone working locally and families (it's a double room but I can also provide an air bed).

My house was part of the Squadron Leaders mess during the World Wars. It is a warm and comfortable home. The bedroom is cosy with a view of the garden. It has two bedside tables with drawers, perfect for folded clothes. There are also hangers for clothes. The house is in a peaceful location. It is very quiet although, as it is so close to the sea, you may hear foghorns during bad weather.

Located within the New Forest National Park giving easy access to the forest and all its attractions. It is a two minute walk to the beach and the forest is a few minutes drive away. Lymington, Brockenhurst, Lyndhurst and Southampton are all within 30 minutes drive. Exbury Gardens, Bucklers Hard, Lepe Country Park and Beaulieu with its Motor Museum are all about 15 minutes away.
Local supermarket, chemist, places to eat etc are a few minutes drive. Please be aware that there are places to eat, pubs and shops within the village. YOU WILL NEED TO DRIVE A SHORT DISTANCE.

Such a lovely location and a really relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. The closeness of the sea and the estuary have made for some wonderful evening walks. Thanks Sabeena.

Mark2017-05-09T00:00:00Z

Sabeena is a friendly host and made my stay welcoming and comfortable. I can highly recommend her, thanks Sabeena!

Fiona2017-07-01T00:00:00Z

Situated just a few hundred yards from the Solent and the entrance to Southampton Water, Sabeena's home is a quiet haven with five star facilities close to a family beach - Highly recommended!

John2017-07-04T00:00:00Z

I loved to meet Sabeena. I am sure that if I would live nearby I would keep in touch. And in future if I need accommodation in the area I do not doubt I will be in touch. Thank you for your hospitality.

Lurdes 2017-08-13T00:00:00Z

Still great!!

Mark2017-05-13T00:00:00Z

My previous posts say much about my time in Calshot but the location and the warm, friendly atmosphere made it a place I was sorry to leave. Sabeena made it feel like a home from home and her friendly, chilled demeanour was a pleasure. Huge thanks.

Mark2017-05-17T00:00:00Z

This was my first airbnb, and I had a really good stay. Sabeena was great. She is the kind of person which will really take that extra care. The room had clean sheets and tovels on the bed. She had prepared information about the area in folders in the room. She came with suggestions where to eat and enjoy activities in the area. She made breakfast and was really nice to me.

Björn2017-04-04T00:00:00Z

Lovely hosts and room.. dog is an added bonus. 1min walk from the beach.. very nice.
